Butter Chicken | Umami

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (Use 3tbsp of ghee if you can find it in the Indian section of woolies - Gives it more of a butter flavor)
• 5 cloves garlic (Can't have too much garlic)
• 2 inch fresh ginger root - grated
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• ½ teaspoon chili (Red or Cayenne) powder - Will be slightly more heat than a restaurant will serve. I wouldn't do less than 1/4tsp otherwise it can taste quite bland.
• 1 teaspoon salt (add more if needed)
• 900g chicken thighs (skinless, boneless, diced into bite-size pieces) - I buy a bit over a kilo and trim the fat for the dog
• 425g passata
• 1 cup thickened cream (or coconut milk, I prefer half a cup of each)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or mint or cilantro, for garnish)
